“They cared for our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We left feeling seen, supported, and filled with hope.”

Adrianna brought her family to Fully Alive Community Health so they could both receive care. It was the first time her mother had been able to see someone for her dental needs, and she had a wonderful experience.

What touched her most was that the care extended beyond her physical needs. People took the time to pray over her, creating a meaningful spiritual connection. She was moved by the beauty of people gathering in prayer and taking the time to care so deeply for others.

For Adrianna and her family, the experience was a powerful reminder that true healing involves more than the physical—it also embraces emotional and spiritual well-being. They left feeling cared for, encouraged, and filled with hope.

Thank you to our generous donors and partners who make this whole person care possible, and to the churches and community organizations that welcome us into their neighborhoods and host our clinics.

“When she finished, I cried tears of joy—the relief from the pain was immediate.”

In the painful days following the 2025 Altadena wildfires, Rochelle was caring for her husband while quietly enduring a toothache so severe it brought her to her knees. When her church hosted a free medical clinic through Fully Alive Community Health—just across the street from her home—she walked over seeking help. She left not only free from pain, but also feeling cared for, supported, and hopeful.

That experience stayed with her.

As Rochelle continued recovering from the lasting impact of the fires, she sought out our clinics again to address another important health need. This time, she received her first eye exam in 10 years and two pairs of glasses. She left smiling, grateful, and able to see more clearly.

Rochelle’s story reminds us that recovery does not end when the flames are extinguished. For many people affected by the 2025 wildfires, healing is a long journey that requires continued care, compassion, and support.

Thank you for standing alongside Rochelle and the many individuals and families still rebuilding their lives. Your support makes it possible for us to continue showing up—with the care people need, for as long as recovery takes.

“Life would be much harder without this care.”

Selena came to our clinic for vision and dental care. She received a comprehensive eye exam, a brand-new pair of glasses, and dental cleaning—all completely free of charge.

For Selena, having access to these services makes a meaningful difference. She shares that life would be much harder without the ability to receive high-quality care at no cost.

Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people have access to the care they need, all in one place.

And it’s made possible by people like you.

Your generosity helps provide free vision, dental, mental health, and medical care to people in our community—making a lasting difference, one person at a time.
